- (ii) at least partially opposing the biasing of step (i) by a second biasing means.
- The invention will now be described, by way example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
- Figure 1 is a schematic representation of an embodiment of a prior art electrical connection arrangement;
- Figure 2 is a schematic representation of a first embodiment of an electrical connection arrangement in accordance with an aspect of the present invention;
- Figure 3 is a schematic representation of a second embodiment of an electrical connection arrangement in accordance with an aspect of the present invention;
- Figure 4 is a schematic representation of a third embodiment of an electrical connection arrangement in accordance with an aspect of the present invention; and
- Figure 5 is a line graph showing a comparison of a variation of acceleration with time between the arrangement of Figure 1 and an electrical connection arrangement according to the present invention.
- Referring now to Figure 2, an
electrical connection arrangement 200 comprises anignition coil contact 202, aspark plug terminal 203 and aspring 204. Thecontact 202 comprises a cylindrical electricallyconductive housing 206 with acircular opening 208 in oneend wall 210. The opening 208 has an inwardly projectingrim 212 which forms anannular recess 214 about theend wall 210 internal of thehousing 206. - A
contact pedestal 216 having a circular cross section projects from the other end wall 218. Ahemispherical contact projection 219 is formed centro symmetrically upon an end surface 220 of thepedestal 216. Anannular channel 221 is formed between thepedestal 216 and thehousing 206. - The
terminal 203 comprises acylindrical body portion 222, awaist portion 224 and a head portion 226. Thewaist portion 224 lies between, and is narrower than, thebody portion 222 and the head portion 226. A frusto-conical chamfer 228 links thewaist portion 224 and the head portion 226. The head portion 226 has abevelled edge 227. - The
spring 204 comprises two opposingplanar fingers annular neck section 234. Each of thefingers - The
finger 230 comprises ashort foot portion 236 that connects to alower arm portion 238 via akink 240. Thekink 240 is angled such that thelow arm portion 238 is inclined inwardly towards the centre of theneck section 234. Anelbow 242 connects thelower arm portion 238 to anupper arm portion 244. Theelbow 242 is angled such that theupper arm portion 244 is directed outwardly away from the centre of theneck section 234. A resilientcurved shoulder 246 connects theupper arm portion 244 to theneck section 234. - In use, the
foot portions 236 of thespring 204 locate in thechannel 214 with thekink 240 locating at approximately the same height as a free end of therim 212. Anouter surface 248 of the each of theshoulders 246 abuts the end surface 220 thecontact pedestal 216. - The
spark plug terminal 203 locates within thehousing 206 such that the spring'selbow 242 engages thechamfer 228 and urges the head portion 226 into contact with theneck section 234. - The
resilient shoulder 246 acts to mediate the force exerted by theelbow 242 on theterminal 203. - The
shoulder 246 buffers relative motion between the terminal 203 and thehousing 206 by dissipating the energy of the motion within thespring 204. This results in a decrease in the acceleration response of thecoil contact 202 relative to thespark plug terminal 203 as the energy dissipation is spread over a longer time period than in prior art arrangements. This reduces the maximum stress exerted onspring 204 with a consequential decrease in fatigue in thespring 204. - Referring now to Figure 3, the ignition coil contact and the spark plug terminal of this second embodiment of the present invention are substantially the same as those of the first embodiment and identical parts of these elements will be accorded similar reference numerals in the three hundred series.
- The arrangement of this second embodiment of the present invention differs from that of the first embodiment in that there is no annular neck portion of the spring 304. Consequently, respective terminal ends 352,354 of the spring's fingers 330, 332 abut the
bevelled edge 327 of the spark plug 303. The spring's elbow 342 engages thechamfer 328 and urges thehead portion 326 into contact with the terminal ends 352,354. - Referring now to Figure 4, the ignition coil contact and the spark plug terminal of this third embodiment of the present invention are substantially the same as those of the first embodiment and identical parts of these elements will be accorded similar reference numerals in the four hundred series.
- The spring 404 comprises two substantially
identical fingers 430, 432. Accordingly, the detailed structure of thefingers 430, 432 will now be described with reference to only one of them. - The finger 430 comprises an elongate substantially w-shaped body portion 433 with
end portions - The body portion 433 comprises a relatively stiff v-shaped
central section 438 connected at its free ends torespective arm section 440, 342 by respective curved elbows 444, 446. - In use, one of the
end portions 434 locates in the recess 414 with theother end portion 436 locating in thechannel 421. The apex of thecentral section 438 is directed outwardly away from a central axis of thehousing 406 and the elbows 444, 446 are directed inwardly towards the central axis. - The
spark plug terminal 403 locates within thehousing 406. Oneinner surface 448 of thecentral section 438 engages thechamfer 428 and urges thehead portion 426 into contact with the other inner surface 450 of thecentral section 438. The force required to deform the arm sections 440,442 is less than that required to deform thecentral section 438. Consequently, when small relative movements between thespark plug terminal 403 and the ignition coil contact 402 occur there is substantially no relative motion between thecentral section 438 of the spring 404 and thespark plug terminal 403. The relative motion between thespark plug terminal 403 and theignition coil contact 403 is accommodated in the 440, 442 of the spring 404. Typically, there will be only minimal movement between thespark plug terminal 403 and the spring'sfingers 430, 432. - Thus, the spring 404 buffers relative motion between the
spark plug terminal 403 and the ignition coil contact 402 by dissipating energy associated with such motion in a controlled manner, over time. This is shown graphically in Figure 5 in which curve A represents acceleration versus time for a rigid, prior art, terminal-coil connection and curve B represents acceleration versus time for a flexible terminal-coil connection according to an embodiment of the present invention. - It will be appreciated that due to the resilient nature of the fingers of the spring a small offset angle between the longitudinal axis of the spark plug terminal and the axis of the spring will not cause a misalignment of the terminal in the ignition coil housing.
- It will also be appreciated that the stiffness of the section of the spring holding the terminal can be increased or decreased appropriately to specific requirements, this is typically achieved by varying the width, and/or the thickness, and/or the number of fingers of this section of the spring locally.
- It will be further appreciated that although described with reference to a unitary spring construction having two resilient biasing regions the invention may be effected by means of two, or more, discrete springs operating to dampen relative motion between the terminal and the ignition coil, particularly under vibration.
